2012 Ford Explorer: Car Seat Check
Convertible seat: Our forward-facing convertible fit well in the second and third rows. To fit the rear-facing convertible in the second row, we had to move the front passenger seat forward an inch or two. The second-row seats don’t move forward or back, but they do recline. This left the front passenger with enough legroom, but he or she might get uncomfortable on longer trips.
How many car seats fit in the second row? Two
How many car seats fit in third row? Two
Editor’s note: For three car seats — infant-safety seat, convertible and booster seats — to fit in a car, our criterion is that a child sitting in the booster seat must be able to reach the seat belt buckle. Parents should also remember that they can use the Latch system or a seat belt to install a car seat.
